Today was laundry day and right in mid-cycle our Splendie dryer quit. No power/nothing works. Washer is still going. Checked fuse box and it is good. Any suggestions on what I can test or do I need to call a tech?

What would make an inverter shut off after 4 or 5 hours of travel. I turn the inverter on as we get ready to travel. After a little more than 4 hours, it shuts off. I can pull over and turn it back on, but it will shut off after a few minutes. After we get into our campsite for the night and...

I've got a heating problem that has me snowed. Several days ago, I turned the furnace on in our Landmark 365 in order to start packing it. Ran fine for a couple of days, even doing the automatic switching when one of my tanks ran out. When I turned the the draw lever to the full tank so I...

Does anyone know of a test I can do on my inverter? It will not stay on for long periods of time. I've had several folks tell me they leave their inverter on all the time just in case shore power goes out. I cannot do that. If I leave mine on for more than a day or two, the inverter shuts...

On my trip to Florida this past week, I ran into a problem with the level-up system not working properly when not connected to shore power. The legs will retract a few inches then the system will shut down and I have to turn it back on and go back through the steps to get it to auto-retract...

I think I have a ground fault problem. My transfer switch or my inverter I turn the inverter on and everything works great. When we travel, at some point in time the inverter shuts off so when we get to the new campsite, the residential refrigerator is off. I believe when they installed my...

Ran into a new problem for me on our trip home this week. When I went to turn the inverter on for our residential refrigerator, the green light at the switch would not come on. No inverter. However, if I turn the inverter on by pressing the switch on the inverter itself, I have inverter...

Sorry for using this space to talk about me, but I've already "caught ****" from a couple of folks for not saying anything sooner. But I didn't want to say anything when I really didn't have any information to share. Well, now I know something. During a routine dermatology exam the end of...

Has anyone seen or heard of the Anderson 5th wheel hitch system. It's suppose to be light weight and comes in either steel (60+ pounds) or alumimun (30+ pounds)? My dealer wanted me to look at this set-up when I went to order the new 20K base for my Companion B&W Turn-over ball system...

Last year (2015), after the Goshen Rally, we had the Independent Suspension and Disk Brakes added to our Newport at the Mor-Ryde factory in Elkhart. On the way home from that installation I had one of the "rubber springs" shred making the trailer lean to one side. This happened less than 400...

We are going to be in the Seattle area for 3 or 4 days in September. I'm looking for a campground that accomodates big rigs (my 43 ft. Newport) that we can use as a base to do some touring. Anybody have a recommendation. When we leave Seattle, we'll be headed to Portland, OR so I'm thinking...

Just got a call from my Heartland service dealer complaining about the number of hours he has spent on the phone dealing with Heartland Customer Service. I have my Landmark 365 at the dealer for some warranty work and he is telling me, trying to explain the problem with Heartland Customer...

Taking a golf cart ride around the campground here is Sarasota, FL last night and spotted a LM 365 I hadn't seen before. It was a brand new, on it's maiden voyage, shake down cruise. Roger and Ginger from North Carolina. Real nice couple. He bought his rig from General RV here in Florida and...

I've been living with a problem ever since I purchased my 2015 Newport, and I'm sitting here thinking, "well you idiot, have you asked the forum for some suggestions?" So, now, I'm asking. -- Ever since we bought this unit, with the TV and sound bar mounted directly below it, I have had a...

I was humbled and speechless today when our friends, Rob & Betty Ford (NC Chapter Leaders) stopped by our campground and presented me with a Quilt of Valor to recognize my service in the Marine Corps in Viet Nam. For those who know Rob and Betty know they are master quilters who love quilting...

I have version 3 of the RV Lock. I've changed the batteries in the handle but was wondering if there is/are battery (s) in the key pad. I've sent a PM to the RV Lock people but being Sunday I really don't expect an answer until sometime tomorrow. Being the impatient type I really don't want...

On our new LM365 Newport, there is an in-line culligan water filter in the basement right behind the UDC. Has anyone had problems getting this water filter off? I have tried several times to unscrew the base, to the point I was afraid I was going to break it or rip it off the bracket, but...

Question camp up last night as we sat here for 7 hours without power (bad weather). What is the highest setting that is safe to keep food cold in the refrigerator? Not knowing how long we were going to be without power, I was wondering if I should raise the temp in my refer/freezer to reduce...

We have developed, over the past two days a leak in our residential refrigerator (I'm pretty sure its the ice maker). Water under the cabinet next to the refer and a drip on the outside, under the slideout.. I tried to find the ice maker water shut off value, but it is not under the kitchen...

Carol would like to have a handrail installed on the steps going from the kitchen up to the bedroom. I've searched several sites and googled looking for handrails but most all returns are on grab bars for the steps coming into the camper. Anybody have a source or know of a site I can look at...

Thursday will be our first trip (other than from the dealer to winter home) traveling with a residential refer. Any thing we need to do different?? I know the inverter works off of the truck power while on the road, but what about the inverter remote switch on the coach control panel. Does...

If I have done this correctly, I have attache two pictures. Shows the back side of the UDC with one of the hose connections going nowhere. This is why my basement flooded when I tried to flush my tank. There are two hose connections side by side. One on the left, I thought was the black...

Any one have any tips on how to light a brand new oven in the coach?? I've tried holding the pilot light button for over two minutes yet I can not get the pilot light to stay lit once I let the button out. I've tried lighting the oven using just a lighter and not the pilot light (I know there...

Just wanted to wish everyone a very Happy Thanksgiving. The turkey is stuffed and in the oven so it's time to sit back and relax. Carol and I have so much to be thankful for and we just wanted to share our wishes for a joyous holiday with everyone.

Any ideas on how to lube the pull for the waste water valve? My black tank valve is getting very hard to pull and push back in when dumping. I know they make a cable lube for motorcycle cables, but what about the cable slides on campers. Neither of my gray water tank slides are a problem...

We had a Direct TV satellite dish installed on the camper two weeks ago. Satellite works well, but here at the National Rally, we are in the trees, so no satellite reception. Cannot get cable (which is available here) nor "over the air" antenna reception. What do I need to do, to get tv when...
